Windows 10: 27 GB in admin\AppData\Local\Temp - Win10 21H2 Pro

https://imgur.com/Ac527P5https://imgur.com/FJNTQ351st Imgur Link is Samples of what I see via - RUN: %temp% -- C:\users\Me admin\AppData\Local\Temp2nd Imgur via WizTree app shows there are 17,089 Files in the hi-lighted Temp folder & 29.2 GB totalDisk Cleanup even shows only 555 MB of Temporary Files that repeatedly don't get Deleted when OK clk'd, and it obviously doesn't include this 27 GB Set of Temp members.CAN they be Deleted? I have Macrium Images but prefer a good answer over Recovery.

High capacity and fast fill of AppData\Local\Temp\jnjl32fl folder

Hi,

Recently i wound out that "USER\AppData\Local\Temp\jnjl32fl" folder get big pretty fast, and can reach 1GB data after 2 days.

The folder contain Temp data of different microsoft application, especially, but not only, visual studio data.

Please note that as I do installed VS, but i didn't used it in past week.

Partial report show in the bottom.

Is it a normal behavior? can it be some malware using those location?

Please advice.

Excess Files? in ... \AppData\Local\Temp

In my directory c:\...\AppData\Local\Temp, is there any need to keep the files there. My C drive is a small SSD so anything I can get rid of will help a lot.

 

Over 50GB of Temp Files in AppData Subfolder

Just to clarify, Appdata isn't a temp folder, it holds important settings for your software.
